Every word of this re #Zverev and today's #USOpen men's singles final. The ATP, and ESPN/ABC, have been whistling on the porch hoping the parade goes by. Meanwhile two women accused Zverev of physical violence, including choking, against them. www.si.com/tennis/tenni...

Reform is the richest party in Britain. Its leaders are almost all millionaires. It is funded almost exclusively by billionaires. It has a supportive TV station and widespread media backing. So naturally, this donation comes with the usual attack on "elites". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone. You hear them shouting “Heil, Spode!” and you imagine it is the Voice of the People.” Bertie Wooster

Oops, I seem to have been caught red handed taking illegal foreign donations and being a corrupt sack of shit.

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

I believe Clacton deserves an MP who will spend their time shining a light on everything the area has to offer. And why wait till I'm elected? I've been to visit one of the constituency's most stunning landmarks.

Trump has dropped his $10bn charge against the BBC after he was told he would have to give the BBC his Financial Records. Not suspicious at all...

This is surely curtains for Farage's political career. I don't think there's any coming back from it. I hope not, at any rate. Looks like there could be a strong basis for a criminal case as well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The greatest global threat to both peace and a habitable planet is the government of the USA. It has been so for a long time, but Trump has nixed the deniability. We should stop treating it as an ally that has mysteriously gone astray and start treating it as a hazard to be avoided and contained.

Charged with protecting the living world, one after another has been working for the enemy. This has to change.🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just be grateful for Donarrhea's astonishing incompetence.

Dowry murders in India no longer spark public anger or debate, study finds

Remember how Trump and his team campaigned on the promise of "free speech", and claimed - generally without a shred of evidence - that progressives were shutting it down? Well, here's the reality. Speak out against these paramilitary murderers, and you could find yourself in very big trouble.

4-1, I’d call that just deserts

Robert Jenrick having a meltdown on #BBCLauraK. Defending crook Farage. The same politician who called Reform UK "not a serious party" and claimed Farage "couldn't run a five-a-side team". 🤣

Trump’s “NATO chart” is national defence budgets, not payments to NATO. NATO’s common budget is €4.6bn, US pays 15.88%, same as Germany. All 32 allies hit the 2% GDP target in 2025. Poland spends 4.48%. Article 5 was invoked once and that was for America, after 9/11. Get to fuck paedo

Bought a shitty cheap rocket off Amazon, still waiting for delivery.

Worth reading all of the decade-old article linked (& translated) here. Quite shaming for a lot of UK hacks happy to let him bullshit away to his heart’s content…

This looks like bullshit stenography to me. Glen Owen also ‘reported’ Farage’s lies about French police & a monoglot mechanic ‘telling him’ his car had been ‘tampered with’ in an ‘assassination attempt’ when he was trying to distract attention from something else. Also, Putin *wants* him to be PM!

Jamie Raskin like many other members of Congress is visibly shaken after viewing the redacted Epstein files that are extremely disturbing because they show extremely young children in them. Raskin says that Donald J Trump’s name is all over them. Americans deserve the truth! 🤬

Sorry for the plug but I feel obliged to reshare this. Farage told a podcast before running for election: “There’s no money in politics, there’s no money if you’re straight [i.e. not corrupt]." Around the time he got £5 million from a crypto billionaire before going on to back crypto deregulation.

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

All together now! ... "But Nige did take five million quid, and Nige would take five million more!" 💥💥💥 #RefUKkers

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Today in Brexit Britain you are being asked to believe that a Thailand-based cryptocurrency tycoon secretly gave Nigel Farage - the person, not his party - five million pounds without any hope or expectation of getting anything in return.

How did he know?

I didn't mean to turn this into a short thread, but once I started ranting ... So here it is, on one page: skywriter.blue/@georgemonbi...

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

Ex-CIA director calls for ousting Trump: ‘25th amendment was written with him in mind’

France 🇫🇷 doubles electrification support to €10bn/year through 2030 — EVs, heat pumps, industry. The reason? The Strait of Hormuz crisis making fossil fuel dependence impossible to ignore. Geopolitical shocks don’t just raise prices. They change what’s politically possible.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
